Description: A one-year fellowship, ACGME-accredited program offers advanced training in diagnostic clinical cytopathology. Experience is provided through daily signout of gynecologic and non-gynecologic specimens as well as training in performance and interpretation of fine needle aspiration biopsies. The Baylor Scott & White Health cytology laboratory annually processes 35,000 GYN Pap tests, 3,500 non-GYN specimens, and 3,200 fine needle aspirations. Participation in conferences and teaching of pathology residents and cytotechnologists is required. Involvement in clinical research is also encouraged. Diagnostic and research facilities are available in molecular biology, immunocytochemistry, electron microscopy and flow cytometry. The fellow participates in all aspects of the service and is given progressive responsibilities. Devoted time to specimen preparation, laboratory management and quality issues is provided.

Requirements: Candidates must have completed AP or AP/CP pathology residency and be certified or eligible in AP or AP/CP. Applicants must have passed all USMLE Steps before entering the Cytopathology Fellowship Program. Foreign medical graduates are required to have an ECFMG certificate. Baylor Scott & White Health sponsors only the J1 Visa for those individuals who require a visa in order to be work-authorized.

Community: Temple is located in the heart of Texas Hill Country, with the major cities of Austin, Dallas, Houston and San Antonio less than three hours away. Hill Country sports an array of cultural and natural features including Belton Lake, which offers recreational opportunities and some of the best fishing, camping and boating in Central Texas. Beautiful rolling hills, sparkling rivers and bold displays of bluebonnets make Temple and the surrounding areas very attractive to citizens from all over the country.

Description: The Scott and White Healthcare Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine and the Texas A&M College of Medicine offer a one-year fellowship in hematopathology. The program has the goal of training individuals who will, after completion of the program, be able to direct a hematology laboratory; consult with clinicians on hematopathology; have the morphologic expertise to accurately render hematologic diagnosis on any appropriate specimens, including lymph nodes, spleen, bone marrow aspirate/biopsies, and properly interpret peripheral smears. The program will prepare them to qualify and successfully complete the American Board of Pathology Hematology Board certification examination. The fellow will be exposed to routine and special hematology testing, routine and special coagulation testing, cytochemistry, histochemistry, flow cytometry, cytogenetics and molecular techniques as they apply to the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of hematologic malignancies. All these tests are performed in our core laboratory in Temple. The morphologic evaluation of peripheral smears, bone marrow aspirates and biopsies, lymph node and other tissue biopsies for the diagnosis of hematologic malignancies are part of the daily activity and are obtained from all of the regional hospitals and clinics in the Central Texas Division of the Baylor Scott and White Healthcare system. The program emphasizes the practical aspects of the hematopathology practice in regard to morphologic skills, laboratory management and clinical consultation.

Requirements: Completed training in combined anatomic and clinical pathology. All applicants must pass USMLE Steps 1 and 2 before entering any Scott & White GME program and must pass Step 3 before completing the first year of residency or fellowship training. Foreign medical graduates are required to have an ECFMG certificate. Scott & White sponsors only the J1 Visa for those individuals who require a visa in order to be work-authorized.

Facilities: The Baylor Scott & White Healthcare system-Central Texas Division is an integrated system very conducive to such exposure because of the complex practice involving over 1200 physicians, including primary care and specialists and a system that includes 17 hospitals or hospital partners and more than 140 clinic locations throughout Central Texas. The fellowship is based in Temple which is the location of the core laboratory for the system.

Stipends: Salary is commensurate with the year of postgraduate training.

Non-gynecologic training (~3000/year) consists of exposure to a wide variety of both neoplastic and non-neoplastic disease cytology.

Training includes use of ancillary immunohistochemistry and molecular techniques for neoplasm classification and use of special stains for infectious disease diagnosis. Fellows will also be trained in performance of FNA (with optional hands-on experience in US-guided FNA) and onsite evaluation of palpation- and image-guided (US, CT, EUS and EBUS) FNA. Fellows will be expected to participate actively in interdisciplinary tumor board conferences and teaching conferences. Elective rotations in Hematopathology, Microbiology, Interventional Radiology and Molecular Diagnostics are offered. Fellow is expected to have a research project culminating in Grand Rounds presentation of findings.
